As a comparatively impartial bystander, I think that remarks like yours don't really add much of value to Hacker News. At the risk of being auto-hoist petard-wise, I also find it astonishing that any American can take umbrage at a person from one country telling people in another country what to do. That feels a lot like a pot calling a kettle black. I think all such comments should be left outside of HN, and people should concentrate on following the guidelines of the site owner and provider. Add value where you can, be civil and constructive. Don't simply complain, but offer information where possible, and corrections where necessary. In short, play nice.
